"The sun shines bright~ The flowers laugh at ~ The birds say chirp chirp chirp~ Why are you carrying a dynamite pack on your back~ I’m going to blow up the school~ The teacher doesn’t know... Holy crap!"
After signing the contract to beco 007, Wu Liang felt incredibly relaxed as he walked outside.
But then, dragging his brother along, leaving the base, eating hotpot and singing songs, he was suddenly caught by bandits...
Oh wait, it was a woman who abducted him!
A voluptuous woman with an enchanting presence sprang out from the nearby bushes. She was wearing a hot, short skirt with an icy makeup, exuding a mature woman’s allure.
Catching a glimpse of Wu Liang, she approached him like he was a savior.
But her face showed pain, limping as if injured, and just as she was about to reach Wu Liang, she twisted her ankle letting out a scream, and fell directly onto the ground.
"Hey... don’t splash with blood!"
Seeing her head about to smash against the stone edge by the roadside, about to burst her skull open.
Wu Liang reluctantly turned his motion from preparing to dodge to extending his hand to support her.
He’s indifferent to people’s misfortune, but for soone to suddenly die so abruptly in front of him, perhaps splashing him with blood, he’d rather avoid.
Friends who often deal with murder know that clothes with a lot of blood stains are difficult to clean, and easily cause misunderstandings with others.
Suddenly, a soft, suffocating sensation overwheld him, and Wu Liang hurriedly pulled his head out, ruthlessly tossing the woman onto the nearby lawn.
"Who are you? What do you want?" Wu Liang’s tone turned icy.
That hand reaching to support her just now, was ant to keep her from falling too hard, but she took the opportunity to cling onto him, nearly suffocating him.
He’s neither exceptionally handso nor extravagantly wealthy.
This kind of embrace, like a heaven-sent fortune, he only heard about in stories—like a weasel greeting a chicken for New Year.
Yet, despite being tossed away, the woman didn’t get angry, she didn’t care about his cold tone and rely cried pitifully: "Please! Save , I’m begging you to save !"
"Hold on, we’re in a modern civilized society of harmony now, don’t use such strange titles. Why don’t you call ’officer’?!" Wu Liang frowned and stepped back slightly.
He felt like this woman’s ntal state was a bit off!
"You prefer ’officer’? That works too..."
"Hell no! Shut up!"
Seeing her hesitate before calling him ’officer,’ Wu Liang quickly stopped the behavior; he didn’t want to be perceived as a pervert and get arrested near the official base.
If He Zhan and Minister Long discovered this, he couldn’t bear such a disgrace!
"Please, don’t leave! You’re an official Awakened, right? I’m begging you, withhold your strength and help , while I am still sane!"
The woman plopped down on her knees, her eyes swollen from crying.
Sane?
Sister, you don’t appear very sane to !
"I’m sorry, I’m not an Awakened, just an ordinary official investigator. If you need an Awakened, I can give you a contact number." Wu Liang now just wanted to get rid of this trouble.
With that, he pulled out his phone from his pocket to find He Zhan’s number.
But the woman suddenly said: "I can’t wait, only you can save now! There’s a supernatural event happening at my ho!"
Supernatural event?
As if triggered by a keyword, Wu Liang’s expression changed from disgust to urgent concern.
With a thud, he sat down on the lawn too, his face serious as he spoke: "Describe the supernatural incident, urgently, preferably if there’s really a ghost."
Unexpectedly, in just one day without consulting the Ghost Compendium, there was another supernatural event so close!
Just as he might face a City-Destroying Level ghost, dealing with or consuming more Fierce Ghosts beforehand is essential!
"My husband... has been acting strange these past days, like possessed by a ghost, constantly worshipping invisible things, every night even..."
Here, the woman’s icy makeup couldn’t conceal the blush on her cheeks. Who knows what she thought of.
"And what? Keep talking." Wu Liang listened to her while pulling the Ghost Compendium from his mind.
He wanted to see if there were records of Fierce Ghosts discovered nearby. If there were, that would be ideal for quickly understanding their weaknesses and characteristics.
Unfortunately, after automatically searching Chengyang City’s Fierce Ghosts records, Wu Liang didn’t find any special circumstances near the official base.
That leaves two possibilities—either this woman is high and talking nonsense, or the ghost hasn’t been discovered yet!
Like the Shouyi Ghost incident, the invisible things her husband worshipped might be a feature of a Fierce Ghost, just not directly discovered, thus not recorded in the Ghost Compendium.
"And... very... vigorous... abnormally vigorous..." the woman’s voice grew smaller, almost as faint as a fly.
But Wu Liang heard it clearly.
Hard to believe, he looked at this mature woman still charming, then at her twisted leg, falling into silence.
So her limping earlier wasn’t an injury, she really can’t walk properly...
Oh crap, the dude’s like Lao Ai reincarnated!
Snap—
Turning off the Ghost Compendium, Wu Liang stood up intending to leave and planned to report to the police because he suspected the woman was definitely high.
Perhaps her husband just took so aphrodisiac or sothing?
But she stated: "Please investigate my husband, I can offer a reward."
"Oh yeah, how much can you offer..."
"Twenty thousand deposit, and fifty thousand upon completion." The woman’s tone was unusually firm.
Wu Liang was stunned, raised a suspicious eyebrow as he asked: "Wait, where’s your ho?"
She pointed to a high-end apartnt building not far away.
Now it was Wu Liang’s turn to be silent.
He rembered.
Previously, He Zhan and others said most wealthy and powerful people in Chengyang City moved to live by the base. That building is the nearest residential area to the base.
And the price has been inflated to thirty thousand per square ter!
She doesn’t seem to be bluffing.
She seems genuinely rich!
"Hang on, I’m making a phone call to verify sothing." Wu Liang said after a few seconds of silence.
Then quickly took out his phone and dialed Minister Long’s number. After two rings, the line connected—
"Hey? Boss Long, I want to ask, is it against regulations for official investigators to take private jobs? Are there any restrictions?"
"Yes, I suspect there’s a supernatural phenonon at play, although it’s not confird, I need to investigate."
"What? The official stance allows earning side inco like this? Only need to report in advance? If it truly is a supernatural incident, there’s even recognition?"
After a few exchanges, Wu Liang hung up the phone and turned to face the woman with a serious expression.
With righteous words, he said: "For maintaining social order and stability, I will not allow any supernatural phenona to disrupt people’s lives!"
"Take upstairs to et Comrade Lao Ai!"
Woman: "?"
